I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Starbucks (New York, NY) in Nov 2018
Interview
My friend told me about the opening. I applied online and also received a referral from her. The process was short and straightforward. In-person interview followed by the usual tests and checks. The interviewers were pretty enthusiastic abou their jobs.
Received an email asking to schedule an interview for the following week. The interview took place in the store itself, and took about 15 minutes. The questions were pretty average.
First interview went well, just the basic behavioral questions that should be answered using the STAR method. Second interview was less questions but with the district manager. Still waiting to hear back (if they reach out at all).
Interview questions [5]
Question 1
Tell me about a time where you had to navigate a situation where the supervisor wasn’t available.
Basically a short chat about my availability, my interest in the job, why I want to work there, how familiar I am with coffee and what my past experiences in hospitality were.
